Mount mind
valleys left and right
white streams feed her.

rainy dark season
alone, love is a trial…
slippery slope

…tears would show!
Be brave – you are he …
summer withdraws …

Dry-eyed
I saw. Then heard
as the first frost fell.

Om Bhur Bhuva Soha
Tat saviteur vareynium
Bhargo devasya dimahi
Dyo yo nah prachodiat.

Melting Buddha

 

 

 

 

 


(one) TRANSLATION FOR THE GAYATRI MANTRA:

We put our focus on
our self effulgent light: earth air and beyond
which illuminates our subtle intellect
for the healing benefit of all beings.


 

Pinched Nerves 10/25/2009

Suddenly, even the gardens
showing -
nervous tension

In their withdrawal
i saw my own pinched face…

Ode To Johnny Graham 10/21/2008

Harvest time has passed
the season exhales…
tonight seems longer still.

The air turns cold –
touching his skin
restless by moonlight

A silent wind stirs the leaves
whispers of sun
call him home…

Lay down all burdens –
your self, the fallow sound
a garden gate closing…

What is this?
Freedom to move!
Limbs like spring currents

O, that light is so vital
shimmering on the water –
inhale deeply and dive underneath.

The surface is broken
only ripples remain
of a man crossing the river

His family and friends cheer
voices lifting the fall chill
distant bells sounding VICTORY.

Four seasons pass…
and pass again,
a deep sea pearl ripens.
